New Branches and Offices

At the end of 2001, INCTR established a new branch in Paris: "Alliance Mondiale Contre le Cancer." Dr de Thé, one of INCTR's Vice-Presidents, is President of AMCC, the work of which is expected to dovetail with another of Dr de Thé's interests–women's and children's health. The branch will have a particular focus on working with sub-Saharan Africa.

Additionally, branches are being established in Cairo, Egypt (President, Dr Sherrif Omar, General-Secretary, Dr Hussein Khaled), and SaÕ Paulo, Brazil (President Dr Sidnei Epelman), and an office in New Delhi, India (Director, Dr Manorama Bhargava). The Indian Office will be located in the Sir Gangaram Hospital, where Dr Bhargava is a staff member. The branches and offices will coordinate INCTR programs and projects in each of these countries and where possible, nearby countries, as well as assist in developing new associate member institutions and corporations from these regions, and working with national organizations with overlapping goals.
